Indian Republican Is Going for Elizabeth Warren’s Senate Seat. And He Just Threw Down a DNA Challenge…

Shiva Ayyadurai, an Indian Republican in Massachusetts is getting an early start campaigning against Elizabeth Warren for the 2018 Senate Races.

Shiva recently tweeted a challenge to Warren to rid her reputation as a liar by taking a DNA test to prove she was telling the truth when she claimed minority status as a Native American.

Elizabeth Warren listed herself as a minority in the Association of American Law Schools directory and other directories used by recruiters while applying to Harvard and Penn. She later claimed that family stories led her to believe that she is part Native American, but she was unable to provide any evidence of this.

Shiva’s tweet suggests a simple solution.

“Wow, this is great. I just got my 23 and Me DNA testing kit in the mail,” Shiva says in his video. “All I got to do is send some of my saliva and I will know in a few short days whether I am a real Indian or not. I want to challenge Elizabeth Warren to do the same. I’m calling this the Real Indian vs. Fake Indian Challenge. Elizabeth why don’t you do this? It’s really, really simple.”

Some criticized Shiva for making the campaign about race. Obviously, Shiva merely pointed out that Warren lied in order to claim minority status, a shameful and disrespectful act that ought to be addressed.

Warren never claimed that she didn’t want to provide evidence that she’s Native American (it would certainly back up her claim to minority status). She merely stated that she can’t provide documentation to verify her claim.

Now there’s a quick and easy way Warren can put this behind her… assuming she’s not a fake.
